Arizona State basketball coach Herb Sendek gathered with local reporters this week to discuss the program and other topics. A few things we gleaned:

• Sendek said he has heard from NBA teams about his two players in the draft, point guard Jahii Carson and center Jordan Bachynski. But he said teams more often call about players from other Pac-12 teams. One under-the-radar player teams have been asking about is Washington's C.J. Wilcox. He was impressive at the NBA combine.

• On Carson's supposed slide in the draft: "There's only 30 voices that matter. Everybody else's opinion is totally irrelevant."

• Sendek is encouraged by comments from Athletic Director Ray Anderson regarding a possible remodeling or replacement of Wells Fargo Arena. Sendek called it a "tired" building.

• Sendek is reluctant to classify players on his roster by position. He envisions interchangeable, fast, athletic players going at a high tempo. In fact, he said the team's style of play figures to be their best recruiting advantage going forward.
